				 New engine in CSX3170 
 I am still struggling with the new short stroke engine.  It has several oil  leaks and terrible electronic issues that I have been working on for over two months. 
We took it to a Goodguys Autox and it only made one lap the entire weekend. 
That lap was a DNF because Scott went the wrong way half way through the course.  In fairness to Scott it is the tightest Goodguys course I have ever seen and could confuse anyone. The car would not even start after I brought it home so I changed the cam sync sensor, crank fire sensor and then sent the ECU back for a check out.  It turns out that the main wiring harness repined by the engine builder was bad.  I bought a new standard harness and the car starts and seems to be ok now.  We are going to try it sometime next week so hopefully the bugs are out.  I have included a short video a friend took at Pleasanton, you can see how  tight the course was and and hear an FE well over 8000 (limiter is set at 9300).
